itle: Ponce/Heifetz/Hiew - Estrellita ('My Little Star')
'Estrellita' is one of Ponce's most famous songs. This arrangement is based on the Heifetz's arrangement for violin and piano that gave popularity to the song.

As a student of the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland (RCS), Tzejia is rather known for her familiarity of the in-house recording systems, and was often approached for help with troubleshooting or to film events, concerts, and competitions. During the height of the Covid-19 lockdown, the in-house recording system was relied upon even more with the absence of live exams and live performances. Students who were in Glasgow needed them to record their assessments. It was in one of those occassions that Tzejia discovered the piece, when the warmth that she felt from the piece was identical to that of Fauré Ballade Op. 19, with both pieces in F# major and the main melody played in canon when it was repeated. Inspired by the lockdown where in-person interactions and collaborations were hindered by restrictions, Tzejia created this arrangement as a response to her idea of 'If I can't find someone to play this with, I shall play it myself!' Given that the lyrics was about longing and loneliness, it could not be more fitting to create this arrangement as a musical journal during lockdown!

Recorded on 7th July 2021 at Stevenson Hall, Royal Conservatoire of Scotland. This recording is unedited.

*The arranger’s name is natively Chinese and follows Chinese naming conventions (where surnames are placed before given names), i.e. ‘Hiew’ is her surname and ‘Tzejia’ is her given name, and shall remain in this order when her full name is displayed. When performing this piece in public, the names of the composer and arranger must be mentioned jointly on the programme. In this case it should be ’Ponce/Heifetz/Hiew’ or anything that conveys the same representation, and not ‘Ponce/Heifetz/Tzejia’.
